Actually, our winter extremes get much colder than that. I believe last winter we got as low as about -38 deg. C, but I recall winter lows in the range of -42 deg C. With the wind chill it's been down to the -60 deg. C range on occasion. Any time the wind chill gets into the -40 deg. C / -40 deg. F range there are lots of wind chill warnings and, generally, they cancel rural school bus routes and some services like garbage collection (hydraulics don't work well in those temperatures). Most other things carry on, however, as everything would grind to a halt if we shut down every time it got below -20 deg. C. We have even had stretches of two weeks (or so) where the daily high never got above -20 deg. C.
The good news is that it's a dry cold. Yeah, that's it.
